The Sun reports that in one scene from the show a woman tries on a suicide vest as if it is a new dress and asks a friend: 'What do you think? Ahmed surprised me with it yesterday.'

But another jihadi bride walks into the room, wearing the same vest and says: 'What a complete b****. She knew I had that jacket.'

It is clearly a parody of shows like The Real Housewives of Orange County but is poking fun at women such as Samantha Lewthwaite, whose Jamaican-born husband Germaine Lindsay blew himself up on the London Underground on 7 July 2005.

The show is a parody at the experience of women like Samantha Lewthwaite (pictured), the Ulster-born Muslim convert who became known as the White Widow after her husband blew himself up on a Tube train on 7 July 2005

Lewthwaite, who was born in Northern Ireland but had converted to Islam, later vanished and became known as the White Widow, a will o' the wisp figure who is widely believed to have joined jihadist groups in East Africa and to have masterminded a shopping mall attack in Kenya in 2013.

The first episode of Revolting also features jokes about drones, the NHS budget deficit and abortion.

Prowse is quoted as saying: 'It's important not to pull your punches in satire. You have to be fearless or it undermines your credibility. You can't go after David Cameron for five years like we did and not go after Islamic State.'

Rubinstein said: 'It's about people who are vulnerable to these kind of approaches. We've had the "White Widow", so this is actually happening to women here.'
